Digital Radiographs (X-rays)

Radiographs (X-rays) are vital to your dental health. They allow your dentist to closely monitor the health of your teeth and to make note of any changes that might otherwise be undetectable. Garland and Johnson Dental utilizes digital radiographs, which present several advantages over film-based radiographs. A digital radiograph exposes you to less radiation, while providing an instant image that can be saved electronically in our system. There is no development time necessary, and your doctor can quickly view your radiographs on a computer monitor. Digital radiographs add another element of comfort to your visit with us.

Cosmetic Imaging

Cosmetic imaging lets you see how you will look after you receive a cosmetic or restorative treatment. This ability to “see into the future” helps you make the most educated decision about which treatment(s) you desire.

Intraoral Camera

With an intraoral camera, you will see what your dentist sees. By utilizing an intraoral camera and a chairside monitor, our doctors are able to describe exactly what your treatment entails by using current images of your actual teeth. This is yet another way Garland and Johnson Dental helps you make informed decisions about your dental care.

Digital Photography

Garland and Johnson Dental utilizes digital photographs to capture and save images of your face and smile. These images can be used in cosmetic imaging or as a reference for the doctors as they provide cosmetic or restorative treatments.

DIAGNOdent

The DIAGNOdent is a pen-sized laser instrument that helps your dentist detect caries (tooth decay) that might otherwise be missed by the naked eye. In dentistry, early detection of problems always provides for the best diagnosis and treatment. By giving you access to tools like DIAGNOdent, Garland and Johnson Dental assure you of excellent health through preventative dentistry.

Cone Beam 3D Imaging

Cone Beam 3D Imaging refers to a specific type of CT scan that utilizes a cone-shaped beam to accurately map the unique shape of your teeth and jaw. This type of scan is safer than a traditional CT scan because the precision beam and speed of the scan exposes you to less radiation. The images generated by a Cone Beam scan give your doctor the 3D images they need to craft perfectly fitting, natural restorations such as dental implants.

OraVerse

OraVerse is a breakthrough in dental medicine that reverses the lingering numbness you experience after receiving local anesthetic for dental treatments. In clinical trials, patients reported a return of normal sensation twice as fast vs. those who did not receive OraVerse. Say goodbye to difficulty speaking, smiling, or drinking after dental treatments. With OraVerse, Garland and Johnson Dental helps you get back to your normal life faster than ever.
